  1. IFIP-UNU ADVANCED COURSE ON NETWORKING AND SECURITYModule II-Wireless CommunicationsSection 5 • Access Points

  2. Overview • This module covers basic access point (AP) installation and configuration. An access point acts as a communication hub for wireless network users. An access point can link wired and wireless networks together. The goal of this module is to get the AP configured and communicating with clients and other APs. It is important to keep the configuration simple until connectivity is achieved. Later in this module, more detailed port configurations and services will be covered

  3. Learning Objectives • Demonstrate the proper AP setup and connection • Properly connect to the AP • Demonstrate Configuration proficiency via IOS GUI • Demonstrate Configuration proficiency via IOS CLI

  4. Key terms • VxWorks • IOS • Express Setup • Home Page • Power over Ethernet • IPSU

  5. Access Point Connection

  6. 1200 Series AP Dual-band capable (802.11a+b) Rugged metal enclosure 2.4 GHz antenna: Choose among a variety of antennas that connect to AP’s external antenna connectors 5 GHz antenna: Integrated 6 dBi gain combo omni/patch antenna Outstanding performance Current AP Models 1100 Series AP • 802.11b only • Plastic housing • 2.4 GHz antenna: Integrated 2 dBi gain omni antenna • Outstanding value Common to both the 1100 & 1200 • Line Power-over-Ethernet • IOS feature set • Field-upgradable to .11g • Plenum-rated • Lockable mounting brackets • Both can be ordered with IOS

  7. AP Power Options

  12. Connecting the 1100 No Console Port DC Power Ethernet Port w/wo power

  13. Ethernet Activity Status Radio Activity LED Indicators Status Lights • Ethernet • Status • Radio Activity

  14. Web Browser Console Port Telnet Connecting to the AP • Console port • Requires roll-over cable • Telnet • Requires an IP address • Web Browser • Requires an IP address • To set an IP address: • Use the default • Use DHCP • Use IPSU • Set using Console port

  15. Using IPSU

  16. Initial Web Browser Configuration • For initial configuration: • Connect Ethernet crossover between PC and AP. • Configure PC with IP address 10.0.0.2/24 • Browse to 10.0.0.1 (AP default IP) • Username/Password: Cisco/Cisco

  17. Basic Configuration

  18. Cisco Access Point GUI Comparison • VxWorks GUI • AP 1200 • AP 340/350 • BR350 • IOS GUI • AP 1200 • AP 1100 • AP 350 *

  19. Cisco Access Point CLI Comparison • VxWorks “CLI” • AP 1200 • AP 340/350 • BR350 • IOS CLI • AP 1200 • AP 1100 • AP 350*

  20. Assigning IP Address Using IOS CLI • Connect a console cable between PC and AP. (Use “typical” serial settings.) • Enter enabled mode: enable (Default password: Cisco) • Enter global configuration mode: config t • Enter interface configuration mode: interface bvi1 • Assign IP address: ip address <address> <mask> • End and save configuration: copy run start

  50. Proxy Mobile IP Devices • A visiting client device that can associate to an AP. It does not need any special proxy Mobile IP software. • An AP with proxy Mobile IP enabled. • An authoritative AP on your network supporting proxy Mobile IP. The authoritative AP uses a subnet map to keep track of the home agent information for all visiting client devices. • A home agent. The home agent is a router on the visiting client’s home network that serves as the anchor point for communication with the AP and the visiting client. The home agent tunnels packets from a correspondent node on the Internet to the visiting client device. • A foreign agent. The foreign agent is a router on your network that serves as the point of attachment for the visiting client device when it is on your network, delivering packets from the home agent to the visiting client
